Are you a solo camper that wants to bring your favorite anime girls with you on your next trip? Casio is offering an option that'll let you take some snaps with Rin, Nadeshiko, Chiaki, Ena, and Aoi. The company will sell a special model of its EXILIM EX-ZS 29SR digital camera with special features from this year's Laid-Back Camp anime series. The camera comes with 50 built-in digital picture frame selections taken from scenes in the anime and an image from the anime series is printed on the front of the camera's face. There's also an original start-up screen.
The Laid-Back Camp model also comes with a custom neck strap featuring silhouettes of the characters and the anime's logo.
There is a catch. Casio will only make the camera if it gets at least 50 orders in the next 44 days, and plans to only make 150 in total. Each camera costs 25,000 yen (US$234).
The Laid-Back Camp anime series is based on Afro Tanaka's manga of the same name. It has already inspired an influx of campiers in Yamanashi prefecture, merchandise, and collaboration events. The official Laid-Back Camp website also announced an upcoming stamp rally campaign in Yamanashi prefecture. Intrepid fans can pick up five digital stamps along the designated route to enter into a lottery to win "Rin-chan's Yakiniku Set" and tents designed for solo campers. Both the moped and the stamp rally campaign were announced on the same day but the moped isn't necessarily a prize for the rally.
